Hello Rockies fans! Your favorite analyst, Izzy Garcia here to break down the rollercoaster of a homestand we just wrapped up against the Astros, Giants, and Padres. This second season for the Rockies continues to be a wild ride!

Houston Astros Series (1-2)
Game 1: Astros 3 Rockies 2
We dropped the opener in a tight one. It was a tough bullpen outing in the 8th that ultimately cost us the game, with Luis Gonzalez hitting a 2-run home run for Houston. Melido Perez pitched a solid five innings, striking out seven and giving up only one earned run.

Game 2 Rockies 5 Astros 4 (11 Innings)
What a game! We rallied in the 7th to tie it up and then Geronimo Berroa delivered a clutch walk-off solo home run in the 11th to give us the win. Jerry Browne was a standout with three hits and three RBI. This was a much needed morale boost and showed our grit.

Game 1: Rockies 4 Giants 2
